I find it funny that
Our band director
Noticed that I was happier
Before even I did.
He noticed how happy you made me
And I made you
Before it registered in myself.
That first month
Before we started dating
Was filled with
Tears and suicide and sleeping too much
And bleeding and those nights of
Sobbing to you.
And you to me.
You saw me cry
Before you asked me anything.
I saw your scars
Before we shared a kiss.
I guess, once in a while,
There's the storm
Before the calm.
